These people are so blinded by hate they are incapable of seeing how rabid and vicious their tantrums must appear to others--even many that might otherwise be somewhat sympathetic to their views.
They organized 8 years of obstruction to Obama, even to those policies of his which they had no fundamental objection to, simply to prevent him from accomplishing anything that might bring him credit. They failed to stop his re-election or block his major programs, but they continued way past the point where it was obvious to everyone. They overplayed their hand and gave themselves away. Their legislative extortion, sabotage and obstruction was designed not to prevent policies they disagreed with, but simply to force the President to fail, no matter what the cost to the country. (Not to mention the voter suppression activities and the whole TParty/Trump phenomenon). If they simply continue that policy against Hillary what they are doing and why will be clear to everyone, except perhaps them.
Their efforts to discredit and hobble the next American President (especially if she wins in a landslide!) will only point out to everyone that the far Right has no intention of accepting anything but full and total domination of the American political system. Trying to pull this off in a time when their demographic base is shrinking will only make it more obvious to everyone, except their shrinking base of True Believers.
The Conservative movement has become a spoiled child in a room full of eye-rolling adults, all wondering why Mommy doesn't slap the shit out of the brat and send him to his room without any supper.
Obama of course, was black, and too much of a Mr Nice Guy. He couldn't afford to come across too strong, lest white America, with its gibbering fear of Angry Young Black Men, soil its underwear. Hillary won't have those problems. She'll kick their jive ass and take names later.
I'm really enjoying the rancid stench of Conservative fear.
